>It's strange to go back to old-school function definitions:

Ha ha, yes.

The first edition of The C Programming Language book by Kernighan & Ritchie (the book popularly called just K&R) used those definitions.

The second edition (the ANSI C one) used the latter kind of definition, the ANSI kind, with both function arguments and return values having (mandatory?) types.

I remember I used to religiously use the latter kind from as soon as the C compilers I used, supported them.

The engineering efforts invested into thinning down devices could be more wisely spent on making them better. Sounds like an arbitrary top-down marketing requirement limitation. Who cares if their iPad is 1mm thinner?

Dave Jones did some quick calculations and if the iPad was 1mm thicker, the battery capacity would be at least 50% more! And if it was 2mm ticker, the camera lenses would be flush with the back instead of sticking out.

I felt Kursk was a good example of the superiority of defense over offense in WW2 as the other factors were generally even (no major surprise, both sides had good logistics etc.) Everything you say about Soviet preparations is right, that's how good you could make a defense with WW2 tech if you knew what you were doing!
This seems to mostly be about Xanadu, which I've heard of in passing before but never really looked into. Some of the features sound nice (version control, content-addressing), some are confusing or undesirable (some mechanism to avoid sharing copyright-protected content?, backlinking, micropayments?). The screenshots of what I presume are Xanadu browsing in action look more like schizophrenic corkboarding than a useful document format, with the emphasis placed more on tracing the provenance of summarized or quoted text than on presenting something readable. Perhaps this style comes more naturally to one more familiar with working in academia and reading/writing papers in that sphere. Being a document distribution system, I don't think Xanadu competes with or is even in the same category as The Web, which as we all know, is an application distribution platform and runtime first and foremost.

Well, you're lucky to not have spoiled your palate, in a way. I learned to love good coffee through my friends and I now only drink regular espressos from a machine if there's no other choice. And I'm not being snobby or anything, I fully understand why people drink it, I used to do it all the time. But my friends had to go and teach me about brewing methods and beans and yadda yadda.

Friend of mine had a similar issue where his parents were wine people and, ever since he could drink, taught him how to pick good wine. Except he realised he does not want to pay that much for alcohol so he now just sticks to beer.
This makes no sense. They are not adjuticating a legal issue, they are investigating whether they should start legal proceedings.

I see what you're saying. You're reading it as "every day is hotter than the previous day". The way I said it is open to misinterpretation but the article is better. It says "record-breaking year of heat" and "broken temperature records every single day over the past year," the record being the highest sea temperature for that day. Every day is an all time high for that day. The oceans are seasonally affected, so not constant temperature even averaged across the globe.
This is a bad example and overall I don't see the argument. For decades companies did force workers into extremely long hours. The standardization of the 40 hour work week was in some sense a collective action effort, starting with the request of the National Labor Union in the U.S. in 1866. [1] Prior to those efforts, workers in industrialized positions were indeed working 80 to 100 hours a week on average, with little to no recourse.

Beyond that, you ask 'Why would workers argue for fewer hours if it doesn't end up costing the company net profits? The workers don't care about net profits, at least at the expense of their own time. Time is money, and if the company has more of your time, you have less...

Already I'm not too fond of this entire hiring process(although it is changing slowly), why can't recruiters look at the social profiles, and the work the candidate has done in the past and if you like it, invite him/her for an hour casual chat to get to know their goals and ambitions and that chat will tell you how passionate the candidate is about the technology.

Most candidates underperform in this recruiting process and that uncertain feeling of not being enough(sometimes).
Not to mention putting the RAM directly on a System-in-Package chip like Apple does now. That's going to be unbeatable in terms of space and possibly have an edge when it comes to power consumption too. I wouldn't be surprised if future standards will require on-package RAM.

I kind of wish we could establish a new level in the memory hierarchy. Like, just make a slot where you can add slower more power hungry DDR RAM that acts as a big cache for the NVM storage, or that the OS can offload some of the stuff in main memory if it's not used much. It could be unpopulated in base models, and then you can buy an upgrade to stick in there to get some extra performance later if needed.
I heard s/Neighbors/grandparent's neighbors' kids/ from age 19 onwards, such as independent corporate tax accountants and startup neighbor. It was expected that I should've been a billionaire by 31 or otherwise I was a disappointment and failure. Anyone can readily hazard a guess how well that worked out.

In the end: money doesn't buy life, imagination, happiness, prestige, or satisfaction, but it buys some freedom. While you'll never get meaningfully rich working for someone else, it is far steadier (usually) but it doesn't include a retirement plan anymore. And, current wages are insufficient to create the same standard of living as previous generations (example: I would need $400k TC to live where my grandparents lived).
But then all case branches hit the std::unreachable. How can that work in practice?

that's not true. In fact, the polar opposite is true - every decision is in service to profit and the bottom line. It is only laws that prevent slavery. It is only laws that prevent over-work or exploitation.

I would say that it is better to have regulation over unions. Unions may or may not act in the interest of the employee - it's a hit or miss depending on the actual union in question. But as a citizen, you have some semblence of a vote on the gov't, and at least everybody gets the same gov't.

Yes, it's significant. Unfortunately, there are fundamental trade-offs here between protection and bandwidth and/or latency. Another aspect is energy: keeping a connection "alive" by regularly ensuring traffic on a connection does not help battery life. We have much to optimize here.

DDR5 DIMMs and LPDDR chips as in the MacBooks are not the same beasts at all.

A DIMM is 8 or 16 chips (9/18 is ECC), while the LPDDR is a single chip for the same storage. The wild density difference in chip capacity (512MB or 1GB vs 8GB) makes a huge difference, and how a stick can be sold at retail for cheaper than the bare LPDDR chip in volume.

The makers of server CPUs have always claimed that those have additional "RAS" (Reliability, availability and serviceability) features in comparison with consumer CPUs.

Nevertheless, I have never seen such a vendor giving a non-fuzzy description of those features. Moreover, after the sinking of Itanium, except for IBM the other server CPU makers use CPU cores that are also designed for consumer applications, so at most the server CPUs may have additional redundancy in some execution units (for validating the results) that is disabled in the consumer variants, to reduce the power consumption. However if that were true I do not see why the CPU vendors would not brag about it, to justify the premium price that is requested for the server CPUs.

For the applications that need very high reliability, it appears that in most cases it is preferable to use multiple CPUs operating in lock-step, which can be compared, ensuring that errors will be detected regardless in which part of the CPU they appear, instead of attempting to use a single CPU that is extremely fault-tolerant by using specially designed redundant execution units (because errors can appear anywhere, including on interconnections and buffers).

4. and have 15 holidays per year (but I only need 3 days “holidays” to take a whole week off because I work part-time).

True, I earn a lot less than some California friends, I don't drive a new BMW and I don't go to Disney every month. But that's not what my life is about anyway.
Nope, "AI". The academic community working on one very active research area of traffic analysis, called website fingerprinting, made significant leaps with NNs over traditional ML in 2018: "Deep Fingerprinting: Undermining Website Fingerprinting Defenses with Deep Learning", by Sirinam et al., https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3243734.3243768 . Since then, the most powerful attacks here have used deep learning.

Broadly speaking, traffic analysis benefits a lot from work in computer vision: view a network trace as a one-dimensional picture. There are some fun visualizations here if you scroll down a bit: https://github.com/pylls/padding-machines-for-tor/tree/maste... . Every 1-pixel high line is a website visit, where each pixel corresponds to a packet (or cell in Tor) sent or received.

We're destroying our environment through industrial by-products, deforestation, etc, and when the possibly biggest side-effect of all this planetary abuse starts being obvious, we only talk about that, and make it the only metric.

Getting people to care about the environment is something possible, as other generations have done this better. It only if all your education of the general public and legislation starts from the premise that we need to keep the health of the entire world, in all aspects.
